Make a difference in Ghana!
Wendy and I have such a heart for Africa and its people. Time and time again, we have felt God’s calling to reach people all over the continent… from the countries of Rwanda, Uganda, and Malawi, to last year’s festival in Zimbabwe. We have been blessed to be able to take the Good News all around Africa. And now, another open door! We’re so excited to head to Ghana in October, in the city of Kumasi. This will be the first time our team has ever had a chance to minister in Ghana.
What a joy to have friends like you joining the cause, and working alongside us!
Not only will we serve together in outreaches such as reading glasses clinics, prison ministries, and school sports outreaches, but we’ll also be blessed to have you with us at the Love Ghana Festival . . . praying, counseling, and serving. It will be a moving experience! You’ll see what I’m talking about—God working in the lives of people from every sector of society. There’s nothing better.
The Lord has certainly gone before us and I’m praying that He is paving the way for you to join us in ministry to Ghana. As you prepare for this amazing trip, our team wanted to give you some information to help guide you.
Please take a look, pray about it, and truly ask the Lord to guide you. We’re only making this trip available to a few handpicked friends, and you came to mind. We want you to experience this.
More about the trip…
An opportunity like this one doesn’t come around often. Don’t miss your chance to serve in Kumasi, Ghana, and experience this beautiful country like never before!
The week begins with participating in a local Ghanaian church service, continues for four days of serving in reading-glass clinics and other ministries, and closes with a local Ghanaian activity before experiencing the Love Ghana Festival.
Want to join us? The Palau team will help you find the right opportunity for your unique skills and interests, provide all necessary training, and make all in-country logistical arrangements for a safe and rewarding time of ministry.
